Join Us-Employment in Canby Schools
While parent volunteering continues to be on hold until further notice, we do have employment opportunities in our schools for part-time positions like instructional assistants, nutrition services, custodians and more. We are also seeking on-call substitutes for those positions, which would provide even greater flexibility. Visit our employment website to view all current opportunities.
Upcoming Parent Input Opportunities
Change is coming to Canby High School. If you are interested, as a parent, to serve on committees that provide planning input to future CHS projects, the following are opportunities will be available soon:
CHS Bond Improvement Projects- We are currently in the planning phase of a major renovation and building addition at CHS. Our partners in this process, Mahlum Architects, will soon be looking for more community input through focus groups.
CSD Daily Schedule Committee: Our district is interested in reviewing the current daily schedule and possibly making changes in the future. We need a number of parents to be a part of this work.
If you are interested, please respond by completing this form.
Latino Parent Advisory Council
We had our first informal meeting on Oct. 5th at 6:30 via Zoom. We hope to grow this group and want to share information about CHS, answer questions parents may have and gather input. We recognize that language can be a barrier, and we want to connect more with our Spanish-speaking families. Our next meeting will be Nov. 3rd at 6:30 via Zoom. We will send a text to Spanish-speaking families with the invite and Zoom link. At the next meeting, we will answer your questions about the website and go through resources that can be found there. A google form where families can ask questions will be sent out to Spanish-speaking families in the next CHS Family Newsletter.
October Dyslexia month
Dyslexia is a common condition that affects the way the brain processes written and spoken language. It can be associated with trouble reading, but it also can affect writing, spelling and even speaking. Many children have one or two of these issues on occasion. But kids with dyslexia have several of these issues, and they don’t go away.
Some common dyslexia signs and symptoms in teens and adults include:
Difficulty reading, including reading aloud.
Slow and labor-intensive reading and writing.
Problems spelling.
Avoiding activities that involve reading.
Mispronouncing names or words, or problems retrieving words.
For more information, visit the International Dyslexia Association.
CHS Video Broadcast Recruitment
Parents and students, do you have an interest in live streaming and announcing events? Would you like to help CHS and the community? Do you want to be a part of our Cougar team?
We are hoping to create a live stream broadcast network of volunteers to cover CHS sports and activities in a professional manner in keeping with the hard work that our students and athletes put in. Our vision is to develop a dynamic partnership with CTV-5 to support these broadcasts with interested students and adults providing the camera work, production, and commentary. If you have an interest in participating with this after school club, please contact Tyler Francke with The Canby Current and Now Hear This Studios at francke@canbyfirst.com. Please include your contact information and any prior media experience.
Attendance and Sick Students
There are processes in place to help us track students in the event of illness or an early departure from school.
If a student is sick during class, they should go to the health room, located next to the counseling office. Our staff will contact the family for pick up.
If a student needs to be excused for an appointment or any other reason, please notify our attendance office at 503.263.7210 as soon as possible. This allows us to notify the teacher and excuse the student in a timely manner.
